I was not looking for a reason not to like this movie, quite the opposite. A huge red flag beckoned me as I watched the scenes progress before my eyes. I felt dread watching how far Milla Jovovich went for her role and how far she could go beyond the movie magic and stunts. It was impressive and also quite dark to see.
Although I feel she meant to deliver a strong message that women can do anything, I also believe she did not need to go to such dangerous extremes of acting to prove herself in order to make this point!
Jovovich earned her paycheck, but I'm not sure if the extreme methods she was allowed to pursue to prove herself and her message are morally something to support for the sake of future upcoming stars.
Then again, I'm just a passionate movie watcher, not a real movie critic.
